about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

Doctor Newman, I Presume?
But don’t the progressives and the campus ministers adopt Newman as their own? The bad on it:
Oh well.
Then we have the ugly:
Ouch. But I think Father Ker has things a little off. People who are loyal to the tradition and the teachings of the Church may be liberal or traditionalist–just as people who set aside teachings may also be either. I might say that many conservative Catholics are loyal to authority in a non-orthodox way, perhaps similar to the way many liberals are loyal to certain non-authoritative aspects.
I’d say Cardinal Newman as a doctor of the Church is a good idea.
